BirdBlox offers a user-friendly coding platform that introduces children to programming concepts through interactive robotics and colorful block-based coding, making learning both fun and engaging.

The BirdBlox app provides a platform for students aged 9 to 14 to engage in programming using Hummingbird and Finch 2.0 robots. Through the intuitive interface, students can create programs by assembling blocks that control robot functionalities such as motors, lights, and sensors. This allows them to develop projects where robots respond to environmental stimuli creatively and explore various applications, from navigating mazes with Finch to programming a Hummingbird robot dog that reacts to nearby movements.

BirdBlox offers a comprehensive block-based programming language tailored for physical computing. Tailored blocks for each robot, along with essential control structures, math and logic operators, variable and list support, empower learners with tools to delve into basic concepts and gradually advance their programming skills in computer science.

Key Features:

Control lights, motors, and sensors of BirdBrain robots
Establish connections with up to three robots simultaneously
Integrate recorded sounds for music or sound effects in projects
Utilize tablet sensors to interact with and control the robot

System Requirements:

The app necessitates a compatible device such as Finch Robot 2.0, Hummingbird Bit, BBC micro:bit, or Hummingbird Duo with a Bluetooth adapter, all accessible through store.birdbraintechnologies.com.
Each robot connects to the app wirelessly via Bluetooth BLE; ensure the installation of Bluetooth-ready firmware on your device by following instructions at birdbraintechnologies.com/portal.
iOS version 9 or higher is required for app functionality.
